Actually, I agree with Shepard Smith here. It may have been terrorists but I want to hear some sort of evidence before concluding that.
It’s a valid concern.
The thing is, a real journalist could frame the terror concern. He could let the man speak his mind and then follow up with questions and relay to viewers that some in French society have these fears. But no. Native French are not entitled to fears or concerns especially since there were over 1000 incidences of desecration, vandalism AND arson in 2018.
French churches are coming increasingly under attack with an average of nearly three churches per day targetted for vandalism alone over the past three years.
A report from the Central Criminal Intelligence Service (SCRC) of the gendarmerie noted that from 2016 to 2018 there had been thousands of cases of church vandalism, peaking in 2017 with 1,045 cases, Le Figaro reports.
